All organizations fundraise in<br />
order to finance needed repairs,<br />
upgrades, additions and the like.<br />
St. George Orthodox Church is<br />
no different. What is different is<br />
the group of young women who<br />
are working to raise funds for<br />
renovations to the aging church<br />
so that older parishioners can<br />
once again have access to the<br />
facility.<br />
“One of our immediate<br />
problems is that our elders can<br />
no longer maneuver the stairs,<br />
limiting their participation in<br />
church activities,” Pastor's wife<br />
and a member of the Ladies of<br />
St. George, Erin Kimmett said.<br />
“That’s very sad and needs to be<br />
fixed."<br />
The Ladies of St. George is a<br />
group of eight women who have<br />
been members of this church<br />
since childhood. They were<br />
also childhood friends, most<br />
of whom grew up in the same<br />
neighborhood of South <strong>Norwood</strong>.<br />
All of these women work<br />
outside the home and volunteer<br />
their time to enrich the lives of<br />
those around them.<br />

parishioner and one of the<br />

for our church and our heritage,"<br />
Longtime parishioner and<br />
Ladies member said.<br />
That becomes obvious the<br />
more one talks with the group.<br />
These young women don’t<br />
just talk the talk, as the saying<br />
goes, they are fully engaged in<br />
making positive things happen<br />
for their church community.<br />
They have worked on many<br />
fundraisers together including a<br />
gala in 2015 where they raised<br />
$50,000. And, while they don’t<br />
always agree on details, they<br />
work well together making decisions<br />
on a consensus basis.<br />

Updates on the<br />
<strong>Norwood</strong> Food Pantry<br />
Staffing changes<br />
and a successful<br />
cereal drive to start.<br />
by Renee Plant<br />
Exciting events heated up the<br />
<strong>Norwood</strong> Ecumenical Food Pantry<br />
this summer.<br />
The organization opened its<br />
doors in 1989 at the Grace Episcopal<br />
Church, 150 Chapel St. Since<br />
then, volunteers have worked to<br />
service more than 2,500 families,<br />
and currently serve more than 350<br />
families in <strong>Norwood</strong> and Westwood.<br />
From the time of the organization’s<br />
inception, former Executive<br />
Director Ruth Taegar was a<br />
key component in ensuring the<br />
day-to-day operations at the pantry<br />
ran smoothly. Taegar recently<br />
retired from her position, and was<br />
honored for her efforts at the <strong>Norwood</strong><br />
4th of July parade this year<br />
where the theme was community<br />
spirit and volunteerism.<br />
“Ruth dedicated nearly 30<br />
years, and it’s taken many people<br />
to fill her shoes,” <strong>Norwood</strong> Food<br />
Pantry Chair of the Board Cindy<br />
Zafft said. “We are currently working<br />
to diffuse the work Ruth did<br />
among multiple volunteers.”<br />
Two co-directors, Claudia<br />
Mackey and Nancy Maier, have<br />
been appointed to fill Taeger’s former<br />
position - a job Zafft described<br />
as both consuming and rewarding.<br />
“It’s a very demanding job,<br />
which a lot of people may not realize,”<br />
Zafft said. “Over the phone,<br />
we collect information about individuals<br />
and their needs in their<br />
homes. However, there’s also the<br />
physical aspect of moving and delivering<br />
the food, and that can get<br />
pretty exhausting.”<br />
The act of moving food means<br />
not only organizing within the<br />
pantry, but also delivering food to<br />
the clients who are unable to make<br />
it to the pantry during the pantry<br />
hours on Saturday mornings.<br />
These deliveries are made exclusively<br />
by volunteers.<br />
“There are a number of opportunities<br />
here for anyone in<br />
the community looking to get involved,”<br />
Zafft said. “People think<br />
of helping clients on Saturdays,<br />

IDEA<br />
continued from page 1<br />
What is notable, is that they have<br />
an obvious love and respect for<br />
one another. No one wants the<br />
limelight, and everyone’s efforts<br />
are valued.<br />
Two years ago, the group realized<br />
they would not be able to<br />
make the major renovations the<br />
church needs by holding small<br />
fundraisers. They needed 'a big<br />
idea.' Something that would continue<br />
to bring in revenue long after<br />
the event was over.<br />
Growing up, each woman<br />
was positively influenced by her<br />
grandmother, so after numerous<br />
brainstorming sessions they decided<br />
to create something from<br />
the kitchen. The winning idea was<br />
a Middle Eastern salad dressing.<br />
Each brought in her grandmother’s<br />
recipes and after many variations<br />
were tried and tweaked, they<br />
settled on the one that reminded<br />
each of them of their heritage<br />
and had the ‘fresh taste’ they were<br />
after.<br />
They used their mix on the salads<br />
they served for church lunches;<br />
people loved it and asked for the<br />
recipe. They did blind taste tests<br />
and tried the dressing out on local<br />
restaurant owners to find out if it<br />
had mass appeal. Each step of the<br />
way they were met with encouragement.<br />
But the journey was not easy.<br />
Trying to find a commercial<br />
source to mix the spices in bulk<br />
and to package them generated<br />
many rejections. Savory Spice<br />
Shop of Denver, CO, a small family<br />
business, was impressed with<br />
their mission and agreed to help.<br />
And the project moved on.<br />
Parishioner Nancy Kelly Jones<br />
donated her time and talent to develop<br />
their branding materials.<br />
“Our grandparents settled here<br />
and built this church," Campbell<br />
said. "We have a great respect<br />
for what they accomplished and<br />
wanted to do something to honor<br />
them.”<br />
So it was relatively easy for<br />
the group to agree on the name<br />
for their product. Sittee’s Savory<br />
Kitchen, Middle Eastern Salad<br />
Dressing.<br />
Their mission statement says,<br />
"Sittee is 'my grandmother'" – one<br />
of countless women who, as the<br />
backbone of our community, used<br />
their culinary talents to help build<br />
and sustain our church. Sittee’s<br />
Savory Kitchen honors these beloved<br />
women and their legacy by<br />
giving all proceeds to the Building<br />
Fund.”<br />
Sales officially kicked off at<br />
<strong>Norwood</strong> Day where they gave<br />
out samples and received great<br />
feedback with comments like<br />
‘bright,’ ‘fresh,’ and ‘light.’ They<br />
sold all of their inventory in very<br />
short time.<br />
They plan to start selling at<br />
Farmers’ Markets in the near future<br />
and will work toward an increasingly<br />
wider distribution. They<br />
also have their first distributor. As<br />
of September 17, Ramblin Rose<br />
Cottage Vintage Home and Garden<br />
Shop, at the Winsmith Mill<br />
Market, 61 Endicott St., in <strong>Norwood</strong>,<br />
will stock Sittee’s Middle<br />
Eastern salad dressing. Two spice<br />
packets are packaged in a one-pint<br />
Mason-style jar that can be used<br />
to prepare the dressing. The cost is<br />
$6.99 per jar. Each jar comes with<br />
two recipes, one called Simple &<br />
Delicious, the other Authentic.<br />
For more information, additional<br />
recipes and to order on-line, go to<br />

Kimmett says, “Our parish is<br />
known for making anyone who<br />
walks in the door family,” Kimmett<br />
said. Hospitality, acceptance,<br />
love, church and family are all<br />
intertwined in this community.<br />
The Sittee’s of the Ladies of St.<br />
George would be very proud of<br />
their granddaughters’ endeavors.<br />

Typical items that are in highdemand<br />
at the pantry include<br />
canned fruit, canned meat, dry<br />
milk and meat soups. There is also<br />
a constant need for dry cereal,<br />
which was addressed in a big way<br />
this summer.<br />
“We were contacted by Fox 25<br />
News before their ZipTrip to <strong>Norwood</strong><br />
[in August]”, Zafft said. “We<br />
had a cereal drive where those<br />
attending were asked to bring a<br />
healthy box of cereal. We received<br />
more than 240 boxes.”<br />
Volunteers at the food pantry<br />
encourage those who are in need<br />
of services, or who would like to<br />
donate their time, to reach out<br />
and get involved. For more information,<br />

Sponsored by <strong>Norwood</strong> League of Women Voters<br />
“Learn the ABCs of the CPA” is a forum designed to<br />
help <strong>Norwood</strong>’s voting public gather information about the<br />
Community Preservation Act (CPA). Question 5, is on the<br />
ballot for the November 8 election. This event will take place<br />
Wednesday, <strong>October</strong> 19, 7 p.m., in the <strong>Norwood</strong> Police and<br />
Fire Station, Community Room, located at 136 Nahatan St.<br />
The League has arranged a panel of speakers to provide<br />
information about the benefits and negative sides of adopting<br />
the law, how the surcharge will be assessed to residents,<br />
and how the CPA has evolved in a neighboring community,<br />
which adopted the CPA three years ago. Each speaker will<br />
present information, and there will be a question and answer<br />
period following the presentations.<br />
The League of Women Voters is a non-partisan, political<br />
organization founded in 1920 – the year that women were<br />
granted the right to vote. The purposes of the League of<br />
Women Voters are twofold: (1) Voter Service: to promote<br />
informed, active citizen participation in government; and<br />
(2) Inform and Educate: to influence public policy through<br />
education and advocacy, and to take positions on substantive<br />
issues after careful study, which may or may not be of<br />
legislative concern.<br />
The <strong>Norwood</strong> chapter of the League informs and educates<br />
the public on substantive issues in different ways. The<br />
goal for this event is to provide the public with a comprehensive<br />
overview of the Community Preservation Act that will<br />
help voters make an informed decision when they go to the<br />
polls on November 8.<br />

Winter Street Family Dental – Now Open<br />
Based on the idea that teamwork<br />
is better, Drs. Sapak and<br />
Pezeshki formed their partnership<br />
as Winter Street Family Dental in<br />
<strong>Norwood</strong>. Formerly the office of<br />
Dr. Thomas Hawley, both doctors<br />
were fortunate to be his students<br />
while attending Boston University.<br />
Led by a need to provide better<br />
care for their patients and inspired<br />
by a combined 28 years of<br />
experience, they have established<br />
their office as a fair, honest and<br />
ethical family dental practice that<br />
places these values above all else.<br />
It is their combined mission that<br />
they will do everything they can<br />
to ensure that you have the best<br />
experience possible. That means<br />
knowledgeable dentists, a friendly<br />
staff and a promise that they’ll always<br />
do right by you. It also means<br />
no hidden fees or inflated prices.<br />
Winter Street Family Dental<br />
provides all phases of general dental<br />
treatment for children, adults<br />
<strong>Norwood</strong> Day <strong>2016</strong> Dr. Pezeshki on left, Dr. Sapak on right.<br />
and elderly alike. They offer the<br />
latest techniques and materials<br />
performed in a modern digital<br />
office in a comfortable home like<br />
feel.<br />
Drs. Sapak and Pezeshki each<br />
have over fourteen years’ experience<br />
in providing exceptional<br />
dental care in the Boston area,<br />
ranging from general dental treatments<br />
like fillings, crowns, extractions<br />
and periodontal treatment<br />
to more complex full mouth rehabilitation,<br />
functional and cosmetic<br />
treatments as well as dentures,<br />
partials and implant based tooth<br />
replacement. They each have<br />
unique skills in placing each patient<br />
at ease and making even the<br />

Crafting in <strong>Norwood</strong> is a Community Event!<br />
by Bella Caggiano<br />
Craft fair enthusiasts, mark<br />
your calendars! One of the best<br />
craft fairs in the area will again be<br />
hosted at <strong>Norwood</strong> High School,<br />
245 Nichols St., on Saturday, <strong>October</strong><br />
15, 9 a.m-2:30 p.m.<br />
Every <strong>October</strong>, the town of<br />
<strong>Norwood</strong> hosts a favorite fall shopping<br />
stop for crafting fans at the<br />
Annual Craft Affair at <strong>Norwood</strong>.<br />
This event, however, means a lot<br />
more than just a fun and successful<br />
shopping day. In addition to developing<br />
into one of the premier<br />
craft venues in the state, it is a very<br />
successful fundraiser for <strong>Norwood</strong><br />
High School and local organizations.<br />
The 'Affair' includes approximately<br />
70 crafters who travel to<br />
<strong>Norwood</strong> from all over New England<br />
to showcase their creative<br />
wares. In addition to sewn, crocheted<br />
and knitted pieces, there<br />
will be chocolate and honey, items<br />
for pets, jewelry, holiday decor,<br />
wreaths, stained glass, jams and<br />
jellies, mirrors, paintings, 3-tiered<br />
plates, bags, scarves, soap, wooden<br />
toys, painted glass, quilts, ornaments,<br />
hats and mittens, cards,<br />
plastic canvas, hand towels, hair<br />
bows, hen houses, ceramics, puzzle<br />
lights, decoupage plates and<br />
doll clothes, and much more!<br />
The huge assortments of raffles<br />
are always a popular corner with<br />
chances to win many handmade<br />
items, gift certificates and Mustang<br />
memorabilia!<br />
The history of A Craft Affair<br />
was a brilliant concept created by<br />
former <strong>Norwood</strong> High School<br />
teacher Paula Pelaggi as a fundraiser<br />
for the <strong>Norwood</strong> Post Prom<br />
Party. Because of its economical<br />
success, however, it has grown to<br />
not only aid its original beneficiary,<br />
but also provides donations<br />
to numerous <strong>Norwood</strong> school organizations.<br />
In addition to its positive<br />
attendance figures,<br />
crafters enroll in A Craft<br />
Affair because the day is<br />
truly a community event.<br />
<strong>Norwood</strong> students and<br />
athletes offer their services<br />
preparing the gym<br />
and setting up tables and<br />
assisting crafters carrying<br />
their items from and to<br />
their cars and providing<br />
their breaks throughout<br />
the day. They also help<br />
run the raffles and bake<br />
sales.<br />
While a large amount<br />
of the proceeds go towards<br />
the Post Prom<br />
Party, any group or team<br />
that has students helping<br />
at the craft fair is eligible to apply<br />
for funds for their club from the<br />
day's profits. Past organizations<br />
have included, <strong>Norwood</strong> sports<br />
teams, the drama club, cheerleaders,<br />
SAAD (Students Against Destructive<br />
Decisions) and the fine<br />
arts department after school programs.<br />
What is considered one of the<br />
leading craft fairs in the area, A<br />
Craft Affair at <strong>Norwood</strong> sees an<br />
average of 700 customers walk<br />
through the door, while in years<br />
during a stronger economy, as<br />
many as 1,000 to 2,000 have<br />
bought tickets. With that kind of<br />
popularity, the craft fair is considered<br />
the largest <strong>Norwood</strong> High<br />
School fundraiser and is typically<br />
able to donate $4,000 to the Post<br />
Prom Party Committee and up to<br />
$300 for each school organization<br />
that applies.<br />
Tickets are $3 for adults, and $2<br />
for seniors and children under 12<br />
and are available at the door the<br />
day of the event. Purchase hostess<br />
gifts and decorative items for the<br />
holidays, or come by and pick out<br />
something handmade and beautiful<br />
as a personal fall present!<br />

Last Paige, Tutoring & Test Prep Practice, Opens in <strong>Norwood</strong><br />
Lisa Paige, PhD, is happy to<br />
announce the opening of her new<br />
tutoring and test prep practice in<br />
<strong>Norwood</strong> Center on Washington<br />
Street.<br />
Lisa, who holds degrees from<br />
Harvard University and Bryn<br />
Mawr College, formerly worked<br />
at the now closed Chyten/4.0<br />
Educational centers in Millis and<br />
Westwood.<br />
“Tutors and families were sad<br />
to see 4.0 Education close,” Lisa<br />
says. “It was the only locally owned<br />
test-prep and tutoring center in<br />
the area, and was staffed only by<br />
tutors with higher degrees.”<br />
Lisa says that although her<br />
practice is rapidly filling, at the<br />
moment she is still accepting new<br />
students. In addition to complete<br />
test prep (SSAT, SAT, ACT, ISEE),<br />
she also offers subject tutoring in<br />
writing, English lit, pre-algebra,<br />
algebra, and geometry, as well<br />
as coaching on the college essay,<br />
Common App and individual college<br />
supplements, and college interviews.<br />
She partners and shares<br />
mutual referrals with local college<br />
counselors and top-quality educators<br />
with expertise in areas she<br />
doesn’t teach (calculus, chemistry,<br />
biology, physics, Spanish, and<br />
French).<br />
Lisa urges parents to help their<br />
teens avoid stress by starting them<br />
early with the New SAT prep.<br />
“With the advent of the New<br />
SAT, students need to start prepping<br />
well in advance, especially<br />
for the reading comp and math<br />
sections,” she says. “The reading<br />
selections in particular can be<br />
murder.”<br />
For that reason, she is offering<br />
free diagnostic tests and consultations<br />
to parents of sophomores<br />
and juniors. “Many of the SAT<br />
readings are from literary fiction<br />
and historical documents students<br />
should be reading anyway,” she<br />
adds. “High school English and<br />
history teachers are doing a great<br />
job, but there is only so much they<br />
can assign. Students need to augment<br />
that with independent reading<br />
or they will be in shock when<br />
they take the New SAT.”<br />
Lisa also consults with Open<br />
Door Education in Acton and<br />
Signet Education in Cambridge.<br />

Who Can Benefit From Physical Therapy<br />
by John Vacovec, Physical<br />
Therapist and CEO of<br />
Physical Therapy and Sports<br />
Rehab, Inc.<br />
Physical therapy is not just<br />
for people who have sustained a<br />
major injury. It is beneficial for<br />
anyone who has been injured, has<br />
a chronic illness or disease, needs<br />
rehabilitation or has difficulty with<br />
mobility. Physical therapists assist<br />
people with developmental disabilities,<br />
neurological conditions,<br />
and those with a prosthesis. Treatments<br />
can often provide an alternative<br />
to surgery and long-term<br />
use of prescription medications<br />
for pain.<br />
Therapists develop individualized<br />
treatment and management<br />

plans that aid the patient's recovery<br />
from wounds, broken bones,<br />
neurological damage, jaw pain<br />
and migraines. Physical therapy<br />
is effective for addressing chronic<br />
diseases ranging from diabetes,<br />
COPD and osteoarthritis to brain<br />
injuries, cystic fibrosis and musculoskeletal<br />
disorders.<br />
Physical therapy provides the<br />
expertise and technology to improve<br />
balance and sports performance,<br />
make environmental and<br />
ergonomic changes that facilitate<br />
movement and a better quality of<br />
life. Treatments also reduce the<br />
risk of injury and assist patients in<br />
the use of mobility aids.<br />
Therapies are valuable for addressing<br />
emotional and psychological<br />
issues. They help patients<br />
engaged in smoking cessation,<br />
anger and stress management,<br />
weight loss and substance abuse<br />
programs. Sepsis, asthma, organ<br />
failure and seasonal affective disorder<br />
can all be alleviated with<br />
physical therapy.<br />
Multiple Venues<br />
Physical therapy is typically<br />
administered within the clinic, but<br />
maintenance programs can be<br />
designed for home use. Therapies<br />
are appropriate for patients of all<br />
ages, from premature infants to<br />
seniors. They help injuries heal,<br />
alleviate pain, and work with the<br />
body’s own abilities to facilitate<br />
recoveries.<br />

Current, acute and past injuries<br />
with lingering symptoms<br />
can be treated successfully with<br />
physical therapy. It’s beneficial<br />
for alleviating the rigors and<br />
side effects of cancer treatments.<br />
Therapists offer gait<br />
assessments and training to rid<br />
patients of unproductive habits<br />
and increase the effectiveness<br />
and efficiency of movement.<br />
Therapies can be used alone<br />
or in combination with other<br />
methods that best meets the<br />
patient’s needs.<br />
Whole-body Wellness<br />
Clinical Pilates, aerobics and<br />
resistance training can be used to<br />
improve flexibility, strength, balance<br />
and endurance. Manual manipulation<br />
and mobilization aids<br />
can help patients with disabilities<br />
or who may not be able to participate<br />
fully in therapy. Treatments<br />
can also be designed to reduce<br />
inflammation that causes swelling<br />
and pain, reducing the need for<br />
prescription medications.<br />
Those engaged in sports will<br />
benefit from therapeutic massage,<br />
dry needling and cupping to ease<br />
stress, improve endurance, balance<br />
and agility, and help in reducing<br />
the risk of injury. Therapies are<br />
safe for women during pregnancy<br />
and in alleviating the discomfort<br />
of breastfeeding. Ultrasounds,<br />
electrical stimulation and heat<br />
and cold therapies are beneficial<br />
for muscle, joint and neurological<br />
disorders and aid in maintaining<br />
the health of soft tissues.<br />
Patients don’t have to sustain a<br />
catastrophic injury to benefit from<br />
physical therapy. If you need physical<br />
therapy, call us directly and we<br />
can evaluate your condition and<br />
begin treatment right away. If<br />
additional treatments are necessary,<br />
we can coordinate with your<br />
MD. Your recovery is our expertise!<br />

time capsule that was placed at the<br />
lodge building in 1916. The time<br />

Pink Paws Walk Again!<br />
4th Annual Breast in Show Walk, <strong>October</strong> 30<br />
by Bella Caggiano<br />
Pink hues dominate the streets<br />
of <strong>Norwood</strong> the last Sunday in<br />
<strong>October</strong>. On this day, for the past<br />
three years, dogs are take the lead<br />
in the fight again breast cancer.<br />
On <strong>October</strong> 30, the 4th Annual<br />
Breast In Show Walk, sponsored<br />
by The Soggie Doggie, in S. <strong>Norwood</strong>,<br />
recruit both two and four<br />
legged volunteers to raise money<br />
for cancer research. The fourlegged<br />
companions will accompany<br />
their families, and all walkers<br />
are invited, with or without a dog!<br />
Participants and their leashed<br />
pets will launch the walk at The<br />
Soggie Doggie, 1159 Washington<br />
St., in South <strong>Norwood</strong>, at 10 a.m.,<br />
and proceed to <strong>Norwood</strong> Center<br />
and the Town Common, for a<br />
break and social gathering. The<br />
return trip heads down Central<br />
St., down Guild, Broadway and<br />
VOTE TIM HEMPTON<br />
FOR FOR STATE REPRESENTATIVE<br />
Washington St., and back to the<br />
salon.<br />
In past years, approximately<br />
120-140 walkers participated,<br />
where almost 80 dogs and even<br />
1 cat (in a carrier) has joined in<br />
the event. Co-owners Becky Collins<br />
and Meghan Terwilliger were<br />
inspired to initiate the walk after<br />
seeing football players wearing<br />
pink in <strong>October</strong>, the official Breast<br />
Cancer Awareness Month. Both<br />
women have unfortunately experienced<br />
the life-changing effects of<br />
breast cancer within their families<br />
and wanted to reach out to help<br />
find a cure for this devastating diagnosis.<br />
"The idea started as simply<br />
encouraging clients to do pink<br />
creative grooming through the<br />
month of <strong>October</strong>, Terwilliger<br />
said. "We then thought maybe we<br />
could join in on an already established<br />
walk (Susan G<br />
Comen or Avon) with<br />
all of our pink pets,<br />
but then decided that<br />
we should just do our<br />
own!"<br />
Not available to<br />
attend the event but<br />
want to contribute?<br />
Throughout the month<br />
of <strong>October</strong>, The Soggie<br />
Doggie enhances its high<br />
quality and creative dog and cat<br />
grooming to raise monetary donations<br />
through their pet services.<br />
All the proceeds from the purchase<br />
of any pink creative color (dye the<br />
ears, tail, paws, etc.), pink feather<br />
extensions or pink nail pawlish will<br />
go directly to The Breast Cancer<br />
Research Foundation (BCRF),<br />
where 100% of every dollar goes<br />
into the fund. Check out their<br />
Facebook Page at The Soggie<br />
Doggie for some great examples<br />
of pink grooming services. Sprayon<br />
color options will also be available<br />
the day of the event.<br />
"Everyone has been affected<br />
by breast cancer in some way,"<br />
Terwilliger said. "We all<br />
know somebody who has either<br />
survived breast cancer, passed<br />
away because of breast cancer, or<br />
is fighting it now. We want to do<br />
whatever we can to help these doctors<br />
find a cure. And who doesn't<br />
love a pink dog?!"<br />
Registration for the Breast in<br />
Show Walk is $30 and each participant<br />
will receive a silicone wristband<br />
and t-shirts (while supplies<br />
last). Walkers with or without dogs<br />
(or cats in carriers) are welcome!<br />
For more information or to obtain<br />
a registration form, contact The<br />
Soggie Doggie, 1159 Washington<br />
St., <strong>Norwood</strong>, 781-352-3509. The<br />

Monthly Pains Relieved Without Medications<br />
Menstrual irregularity or<br />
cramping plagues many women<br />
on a regular basis often interfering<br />
with their daily activities and<br />
can be debilitating for days on<br />
end. Many sufferers turn to overthe-counter<br />
medications (which<br />
are insufficient in most cases) or<br />
prescription medications, such as<br />
birth control pills, and both resources,<br />
often unsuccessful, can<br />
bring other negative ramifications.<br />
For many years, Debbie B. suffered<br />
with painful periods, accompanied<br />
by severe headaches, and<br />
used drugstore medications to respond<br />
to her distress. She thought<br />
after having children these issues<br />
would subside, but to no avail. She<br />
visited her primary care doctor<br />
who suggested she see her gynecologist<br />
to rule out pathological issues,<br />
but no physical abnormalities<br />
were detected. She was advised to<br />
go on the birth control pill, but<br />
had tried that route in the past<br />
with no success. She hit another<br />
dead end.<br />
A colleague suggested she<br />
make an appointment with Dr<br />
Bien at The Holistic Center at<br />
Bristol Square. Upon an exam,<br />
Dr. Bien determined that Debbie<br />
had a severe Candida issue that<br />
had gone undiagnosed for years<br />
which was contributing to her<br />
symptoms. After following a suggested<br />
change in diet, a supplement<br />
regiment and weekly visits<br />
to Dr. Bien, her menstrual issues<br />
disappeared.<br />
Debbie is beyond happy that<br />
she no longer has to live with the<br />
monthly pain and discomfort. To<br />
ensure her discomfort does not return<br />
she visits The Holistic Center<br />
at Bristol Square for maintenance<br />
appointments. If you are suffering<br />
from menstrual issues, do not hesitate<br />
to schedule an appointment<br />
with Dr. Bien at The Holistic Center<br />
at Bristol Square, 1426 Main<br />

Community Room, 136<br />
Nahatan St.<br />
7 p.m.<br />
“Learn the ABCs of the<br />
CPA” is a forum designed to<br />
help <strong>Norwood</strong>’s voting public<br />
gather information about the<br />
Community Preservation Act<br />
(CPA). Question 5, asking<br />
<strong>Norwood</strong>’s support to adopt<br />
this legislation, is on the ballot<br />
for November 8, <strong>2016</strong>. The<br />
League has arranged a panel of<br />
speakers to provide information<br />
about the benefits of the law,<br />
the negative side of adopting<br />
this law, how the surcharge will<br />
be assessed to residents, and<br />
how the CPA has evolved in a<br />
neighboring community, which<br />
adopted the CPA three years<br />
ago. This event is sponsored<br />
by the <strong>Norwood</strong> League of<br />
Woman Voters, and is free and<br />
open to the public.<br />

A Year Later, Healthier than Ever Before!<br />
When Larry Regan joined<br />
New England Fat Loss (NEFL)<br />
in <strong>October</strong> of 2015, he did not<br />
anticipate a long-term successful<br />
weight loss. He's now in maintenance,<br />
having over 50 pounds of<br />
fat gone and being free of multiple<br />
medications, he happily admits, "I<br />
was wrong."<br />
"I didn't think I would EVER<br />
be where I am today," Regan said.<br />
"I tried everything; working out,<br />
almost every kind of diet there<br />
was, with no success. This was the<br />
first time I ever saw any real results<br />
immediately."<br />
The real triumph for Regan,<br />
however, is that 12 months later,<br />
he is still substantially lighter and<br />
much healthier. At the beginning<br />
of the program, he weighed 232<br />
pounds, had been diagnosed with<br />
type 2 diabetes, had high blood<br />
pressure and elevated cholesterol<br />
counts. He was referred to New<br />
England Fat Loss and his entire<br />
life changed.<br />
"Caring friends brought me<br />
here [NEFL], because I had been<br />
diagnosed with type 2 diabetes<br />
and they said they both had success<br />
with it," Regan said. "I could<br />
see it in them. I was pretty upset,<br />
so I was going to try one more<br />
thing."<br />
Armed with a full education on<br />
his personal metabolic food triggers,<br />
Regan is not only more comfortable<br />
within his own body, he<br />
does not feel restrained with menu<br />
choices. Once NEFL's technology<br />
helped identify his individual body<br />
makeup, his outlook on food completely<br />
changed.<br />
"The food list I'm now on, is<br />
food that metabolizes quickly in<br />
my specific body. We all have a<br />
different biochemistry, so we all get<br />
a different food list," Regan said.<br />
"All the foods are listed as positive<br />
or negative, with the negative food<br />
metabolizing slowly. If I want to<br />
eat something that metabolizes<br />
slowly, I combine it with something<br />
that metabolizes quickly<br />
and that can turn my meal from a<br />
negative into a positive."<br />
Today, 60-year-old Regan<br />
proudly declares his entire physical<br />
and mental outlook has changed<br />
from balancing his hormones and<br />
burning fat. He not only possesses<br />
a healthy blood sugar count, he is<br />
medication free, more active and<br />
more confident.<br />
"I am stronger than I have<br />
ever been," Regan said. "I have<br />
the information to maintain balance,<br />
and there is a sense of well<br />
being that I didn't realize would<br />
come along with that. I feel very<br />
comfortable. I wear clothes now<br />
that I never thought I would wear<br />
again. It has even improved my<br />
golf game! I don't hurt anymore,<br />
my knees don't hurt, my back<br />
doesn't hurt. One year ago, I<br />
never thought this was even possible."<br />

like, a year from now? At NEFL<br />

improved right away, and the<br />
pounds of fall off immediately.<br />

<strong>Norwood</strong> Volleyball<br />
by Christopher Tremblay<br />
After getting swept out of the<br />
Division 2 South tournament in<br />
the first round by Duxbury last<br />
fall, <strong>Norwood</strong> Coach Paul Nimblett<br />
is optimistic about this year’s<br />
squad moving past the first round.<br />
“I am very excited about the<br />
upcoming year; we have great<br />
senior leadership as well as some<br />
phenomenal underclassmen,”<br />
Coach Nimblett said. “The team<br />
is very deep and I feel that we can<br />
do some special things this year.”<br />
Nimblett was dead on with the<br />
Mustangs doing special things.<br />
In <strong>Norwood</strong>’s opening game, the<br />
squad did something they haven’t<br />
been able to do in some time, defeating<br />
Brookline 3-1.<br />
Looking to provide the team<br />
with a spark and keep things moving<br />
in a positive way are senior tricaptains<br />
Ally Copponi, the team’s<br />
setter; Krista Bradley (middle hitter)<br />
and Meghan Reen (outside<br />
hitter).<br />
“These girls have been providing<br />
great leadership so far,” Coach<br />
Nimblett said. “They really want<br />
to take this team to the next level<br />
record wise and into the tournament.”<br />
Copponi is entering her third<br />
season as the Mustang’s setter and<br />
not only grown in experience, she<br />
has improved her serve and is able<br />
to put the ball anywhere on the<br />
court that she wants to. Bradley<br />
and Reen are both important all<br />
around players. Bradley is a strong<br />
attacker with a big strike while<br />
Reen is one of the best defenders<br />
on the court and also provides a<br />
huge serve.<br />
In addition to the captains, juniors<br />
Kiki Ryan and Kaylin Reen<br />
will also be looked upon to produce<br />
this fall. Ryan, a middle hitter,<br />
plays at a high level and is looking<br />
to take her game to the next level<br />
with her newly developed jump<br />
serve, while the younger Reen is<br />
more of a defensive player.<br />
Nimblett also believes that the<br />
team’s serving has greatly improved<br />
coming into this season.<br />
“I feel that our serving is the<br />
best that it has been in awhile,”<br />
Coach Nimblett said. “It should<br />
help us greatly and keep opposing<br />
teams on their toes.”<br />
After taking last year off, senior<br />
outside hitter Emma Fleming has<br />
decided to return to the court in<br />
her final season with the Mustangs,<br />
and according to the coach,<br />
it’s like she never took time off.<br />
Sophomore libero Danielle<br />
Currivan has been a huge surprise<br />
thus far.<br />
“She is not only very quick, but<br />
plays aggressively,” Coach Nimblett<br />
said. “She has been huge<br />
defensively despite only being a<br />
sophomore.”<br />
Nimblett will be looking to two<br />
juniors to help the Mustangs back<br />
to the tournament in utility player<br />
Erin Spalding and first year varsity<br />
athlete Shaniya Feney as an outside<br />
hitter.<br />
Although the coach sees the<br />
Bay State Conference being a<br />
tough league to play in, he is positive<br />
that <strong>Norwood</strong> will be competitive.<br />
“We will compete night in and<br />
night out with the best of them,"<br />
Coach Nimblett said. "Our goal<br />
is nothing less than second place,<br />
but we’re shooting for first. You<br />
can see that the girls are giving<br />

that extra effort. They have grown<br />
mentally while skill wise their ability<br />
has improved; they just have to<br />
believe in themselves.”<br />
If the Mustangs can find the<br />
inner strength to believe in their<br />
ability, there is no doubt that they<br />
will find themselves back in the<br />

NATURE CALLS - Autumn Leaves – Colorful Gifts from Above<br />
By Amy Beaumont<br />
Ahhhhh, Fall in New England!<br />
It is for many people their favorite<br />
season of the year. The warm days,<br />
crisp nights and gorgeous fall colors<br />
are the reasons so many visitors<br />
flock to our region. And while many<br />
of us New Englanders curse out<br />
loud at the very thought of cleaning<br />
up the leaves every year, there is<br />
good reason to consider the benefit<br />
of the fallen foliage. It’s called composting<br />
– and it’s a free yet highly<br />
valuable method of feeding the<br />
plants in our very own yards. Many<br />
of us won’t take the time to compost<br />
but instead head to our local garden<br />
supply stores to pick up so-called<br />
‘safe’ fertilizer.<br />
Truth be told, the majority of<br />
Shred Today.<br />
Safe Tomorrow.<br />
Saturday, <strong>October</strong> 22nd, 9-11:30 am<br />
11 Central Street, <strong>Norwood</strong><br />
<strong>Norwood</strong> Bank cares about your privacy. We are proud to<br />
bring back our Community Shred Day, free and open to the<br />
public, to ensure everyone in our community can feel their<br />
information is secure. You may bring up to two boxes* of<br />
paper contents, including old bank statements, cancelled or<br />
unused checks and other confidential documents.<br />
us are largely unaware of just how<br />
damning these products are. In my<br />
research of these dangerous products<br />
for both this piece and earlier<br />
ones, the sobering facts were vast.<br />
The best and most effective way<br />
to educate the reader in regards<br />
to keeping their families safe is to<br />
state the most important. There are<br />
three elements in fertilizers you find<br />
on the shelves – nitrogen, phosphorus<br />
and potassium. You probably<br />
remember seeing the labels on the<br />
bags in a hyphenated form, such as<br />
15-5-10. What this means is that the<br />
bags weight contains 15% nitrogen,<br />
5% phosphorus and 10% potassium<br />
(adding up to 30%). What is in the<br />
other 70% you might, and should<br />
be asking yourself ? It is not disclosed<br />
and does not have to be disclosed.<br />
Most of us don’t want to believe that<br />
toxic elements aren’t in the other<br />
70%, but they are. And we the consumers<br />
buy these products and unknowingly<br />
spread them all over our<br />
lawns where our children and pets<br />
play. Take a moment to educate<br />
yourself more on this subject by<br />

By composting our own yard<br />
waste and using it in our gardens,<br />
we take back control of our environment.<br />
Composting is very simple<br />
and easy to do. Whether you are a<br />
seasoned gardener or someone<br />
that’s never planted a thing, the following<br />
steps will get you started.<br />
1. There is no one ‘right’ way to<br />
compost. Many seasoned composters<br />
use the two parts brown<br />
(leaves) – one part green (grass<br />
clippings, kitchen scraps, etc.)<br />
ratio, but this is not necessary.<br />
This ratio may accelerate the<br />
breakdown process, but a pile<br />
with a different ratio will still<br />
mature into compost, just at a<br />
slower rate. One can be a lazy<br />
composter. There are many<br />

Starring:<br />

Juli Small, Tracey O’Farrell,<br />
Ken Golner, Ashley Harmon,<br />
and Kenneth Densmore<br />
‘bins’ that can be used to compost<br />
and keep materials contained.<br />
You can order a cedar<br />
wood composter that is super<br />
easy to assemble from www.<br />
hayneedle .com or many other<br />
suppliers. Get online and hunt<br />
around for the best deal.<br />
2. The best compost is cured compost<br />
– piles that are set-aside for<br />
a few months to age. A small<br />
or large pile is just fine – mix it<br />
around with a digging fork when<br />
you feel like getting outside.<br />
You’ll want to add some water<br />
from the garden hose now and<br />
then, to aid in the breakdown<br />
process.<br />
3. Make your composting area<br />
convenient – locate it close to<br />
where your biggest garden is so<br />
it is easier to move materials.<br />
4. Get started now! Even if you<br />
don’t have a designated bin for<br />
the fall, you can start composting<br />
with leaves, grass clippings<br />
and kitchen scraps. Purchase a<br />
bin in the spring instead, when<br />
there are more choices available.<br />

In present day Florida, in a trailer park called “Armadillo Acres”, Betty, Lin<br />
and Pickles sun themselves with complete indifference to ozone depletion. Ever<br />
hospitable, they set aside their sun reflectors to welcome the audience. “The<br />
Girls” also introduce Jeannie, agoraphobic and unable to step outside her trailer,<br />
much to the exasperation of her toll collector husband, Norbert. Just another day,<br />
nothing new, except for Pippi, a stripper-on-the-lam who arrives to stir up trouble<br />
on her five-inch heels! A sparkling irreverence makes this a laugh-out-loud musical<br />
with a country-rock and blues score.<br />

5. Get a book at the <strong>Norwood</strong> library<br />
on the subject. Learning<br />
the composting process with<br />
educate greatly and advance<br />
your gardening skills.<br />
Remember, creating your very<br />
made fertilizer from compost is<br />
free, gets you outside and puts<br />
you in full control of your garden.<br />
You’ll also learn just by getting out<br />
there and churning your pile – just<br />
like our grandparents use to do.<br />
Buying commercial fertilizers and<br />
‘force feeding’ them the three main<br />
ingredients of nitrogen, phosphorus<br />
and potassium does not in<br />
fact make for good nutrition for<br />
our plants. In fact, it is now well<br />
known through many studies that<br />
these synthetic fertilizers contain<br />
known carcinogens such as lead,<br />
mercury, arsenic, chromium and<br />
countless others. This information<br />
is out there – we just have to look<br />
for it and educate ourselves, and<br />
take the initiative to utilize nature’s<br />
gold. Look around – it is falling all<br />
around us during this most spectacular<br />
season of autumn.<br />

<strong>October</strong> Action<br />
<strong>October</strong> is one of my favorite<br />
months for so many reasons. Fall<br />
starts, leaves are changing colors<br />
-many are still clinging to their<br />
tree house homes. There is apple<br />
picking, cider donuts, and of<br />
course pumpkin spice anything<br />
and everything-especially coffee!<br />
But the best part of <strong>October</strong><br />
is Halloween. I love Halloween.<br />
Dressing up and being something<br />
you most likely wouldn’t be, scaring<br />
kids both young and old. And<br />
most importantly, chocolate in<br />
every imaginable size, shape and<br />
form. For at least a week after<br />
Halloween (or in my house approximately<br />
four days after), it is<br />
acceptable to have chocolate for<br />
breakfast, lunch, and an after dinner<br />
snack.<br />
And after all, isn’t milk chocolate<br />
a dairy? I mean it says milk<br />
right in the name!<br />
Many years ago, there<br />
was a Haunted Happening on<br />
Out and About<br />
Dean Street. The lady that lived<br />
there spent tireless hours spooking<br />
out her front yard. She had<br />
monsters playing musical instruments<br />
and ghastly grave yard<br />
scenes. I can’t tell you the amount<br />
of times my kids and I would<br />
drive up and down Dean Street<br />
to see her spooktacular scenes.<br />
But alas, one year ghastly<br />
gals and gents stole some of<br />
spooky stuff off the lawn and the<br />
heartbroken Halloween heroine<br />
stopped her scary scenes.<br />
<strong>Norwood</strong>’s own Civic<br />
Center used to have a haunted<br />
house within its wicked walls<br />
as well. I remember kids (and<br />
grown-ups alike) would line up to<br />
be scared by goblins, ghosts, and<br />
other creeps that go bump in the<br />
night.<br />
Until one day, the Civic Center<br />
decided to halt the Halloween<br />
happening. An indoor yard sale<br />
was held in the Civic gym and<br />
By Dawn C. Fitzgerald<br />
all the terrifically terrifying items<br />
were tagged and bagged to be<br />
enjoyed by others in such faraway<br />
places as Rhode Island ( I know, I<br />
was there looking for creepy crud<br />
and overheard the purchaser of<br />
an enormous skeleton say he was<br />
taking it to his haunted house in<br />
Rhode Island).<br />
Although kids still go Trick or<br />
Treating, and a few still scare up<br />
some decorations for Halloween,<br />
I can’t help but worry if one day<br />
my favorite holiday will come to<br />
a scarily screaming halt. And it<br />
frightens me.<br />
Where there once seemed to<br />
be so many Halloween parties in<br />
grammar school classrooms, celebrations<br />
seem to become more<br />
and more limited. To my horror,<br />
some towns have actually banned<br />
trick or treating because people<br />
think it too dangerous for the kiddos.<br />
I can’t even imagine a world<br />
without getting dressed up and<br />
going out trick or treating only to<br />
come home and gorge on chocolate.<br />
Even now this is still one of<br />
my favorite childhood memories.<br />
I lived in a triple decker in<br />
the city. In order to trick or treat,<br />
I trudged up and down three<br />
flights of stairs barely able to see<br />
in my plastic mask with tiny eye<br />
slits while wearing my extremely<br />
flammable costume to be rewarded<br />
with a teeny tiny 3 Musketeers<br />
bars.<br />
Then and now, the risk of life<br />
and limb was worth it to get that<br />
little nugget of chocolate, or trade<br />
it with a buddy for (hopefully)<br />
something better.<br />
I hope that Halloween is never<br />
halted in our town, but I’d be<br />
scared to not say that with each<br />
year that passes and every additional<br />
town that stomps on Halloween,<br />
I get a bit squeamish that<br />
one day this memory-making<br />
tradition will just end. And that<br />
makes me grimace and aghast<br />
with fright.<br />

BEAR<br />
My buddy Puddles and I used<br />
to live in the same home. We<br />
had to be surrendered when our<br />
humans moved to a no-cat housing<br />
situation. Sometimes things<br />
happen that prevent people from<br />
being able to take their loved<br />
ones....even when they try. My<br />
humans say I'm bright. (Just saying.)<br />
I love to socialize and play.<br />
One exception: I would prefer to<br />

WHY ADOPT AN ADULT<br />
CAT?<br />
Kittens sure are cute and wonderful<br />
in their own way, but there<br />
are definite advantages to adopting<br />
an adult cat. What are they?<br />
We interviewed this week's highlighted<br />
cats to find out.<br />
Puddles: You know what our<br />
personality is going to be. Kittens<br />
are still developing, and how they<br />
act may change. Shy? Aggressive?<br />
Cuddly? Playful? Who can tell<br />
how they'll turn out? With us, you<br />
pretty much know.<br />
Bear: We won't chew up the<br />
place. We're not exploring the<br />
world with our mouths, like kittens<br />
and your babies -- we're all<br />
through with that -- so your shoes<br />
are safe with us.<br />
Lyra: We don't tend to do crazy<br />
stuff that lands us at the vet, like<br />
chewing on electrical cords, or<br />
misjudging our jumping ability<br />
and falling. Our wisdom and experience<br />
tells us not to do such<br />
dangerous things.<br />
KEYS TO HEALTH<br />
Autumn is here, and with it<br />
some things to be aware of in<br />
order to keep your feline and other<br />
pet friends safe.<br />
Mouse poison - As the weather<br />
cools, mice seek warm places,<br />
maybe within your home. If you<br />
prefer not to have them as roommates,<br />
choose a way to uninvite<br />
them that doesn't involve poison<br />
because it is also dangerous for<br />
pets. We suggest always considering<br />
safe, humane pest removal.<br />
Symptoms of poison ingestion<br />
can include lethargy, pale gums,<br />
and blood in feces.<br />
Chrysanthemums - They're<br />
lovely to brighten the place up, but<br />
their stems and leaves can cause<br />
your pet skin irritation, increased<br />
levels of saliva, loss of balance,<br />
vomiting, and diarrhea.<br />
Fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes<br />
carrying heartworm - They're still<br />
a concern this time of year. Fleas<br />
hang out in damp leaf piles, ticks<br />
hang out in spots where delicious<br />
animals travel by, rest, and eat, and<br />
all three insects are active when it's<br />
above 40 or 50 degrees, including<br />
in your home. Symptoms include<br />
itching, lethargy, weight loss, and<br />
more.<br />
See your vet for more information<br />
on all of these possible health<br />
obstacles. In case of poisoning<br />
and your vet is not available, call<br />
the Pet Poison Helpline: 855-289-<br />
0358 Please be aware there is a<br />
$49 charge, which includes initial<br />
and follow-up calls with experts.<br />
DONATIONS WELCOMED! We<br />
always need litter (Petco’s scoopable<br />
is ideal). We have empty<br />
containers on top of the cage at<br />
the back of the shelter that you<br />
can take to the litter section of the<br />
store. We also need canned and<br />
hard food for the feral colonies our<br />
volunteers look after. Good old<br />
checks are also quite welcomed<br />
- they can help defray our costs .<br />
Please see our website: baystateanimals.org<br />

“Paul has helped me successfully buy and sell several<br />
properties. Paul really understands the local market...<br />
and what you may have to do or not do in terms of<br />
improvements to sell a property....I have followed his<br />
advice and it works everytime.... in good markets and<br />
in bad. Paul is honest and realistic when it comes to<br />
pricing, and works well with everyone. Paul works hard<br />
and was there every step of the way for me. I would<br />

Slight Dip in <strong>Norwood</strong> Listings from Last<br />
August, but Rising Average Sale Prices<br />
by Bella Caggiano<br />
<strong>Norwood</strong> housing sale prices<br />
continued to rise from August,<br />
2015, to August, <strong>2016</strong>. The number<br />
of listings fell slightly this<br />
year, however, average sale price<br />
rose significantly and houses sold<br />
quicker with fewer days to an offer<br />
and on the market.<br />
Part of the contribution for<br />
the rise in average sale price could<br />
also be credited to the sale of two<br />
houses sold between $600,000<br />
and $699,999 and $700,000 and<br />
$799,999.<br />
